Six years of trying and the Switchback 100 finally let me finish inside 24 hours. Quartz Ridge
at mile 33 nearly broke me, but the pacers at Marten Pass turned it around. Thank you to every
volunteer standing in the dark with a headlamp and a smile.

First ultra in the books. The desert heat at Mesa Loop humbled me by mile 20, but the Arch Camp
aid station crew kept the ice and the jokes coming. Already looking at next year's calendar.

Paced my training partner through the back half of Silverpine 50 last night — watching someone
hit their goal after a rough patch at Pika Point is its own kind of finish line.

Course record attempt didn't happen this year — cramps at mile 40 had other plans — but I got
a huge PR and a new favorite aid station (Juniper Seep, your quesadillas are legendary).

Ran my first night race under a full moon at Red Wash. Turned my headlamp off for the last
mile just to take it in. Not sure I can go back to daytime races after this.

1,000 meters of gain in 3.1 miles and my legs know it. Vertical K is the shortest race on my
calendar and somehow the one that humbles me the most every single year.
